 The Plan of Campain Adopted by the
 National Builders Association.
 CHICAGO, May 24.-The members of the
 executive board of the National Association
 of Builders left for their homes this evening after issuing address long enough to fill two columns. The document is directed to the Builders and Traders exchange of Chica- go to all affiliated bodies of the national as- sociation and to the public. An entirely new method of dealing with workmen is evolved.
